Abstract
There is provided a decorative panel comprising: a backing layer having a back face for abutting a panel-receiving surface and a front face opposite to the back face; a relief decorative layer attached to the front face of the backing layer and comprising: a layer of a base polymer attached to the front face of the backing layer and substantially covering the front face of the backing layer; and a relief element made of a layer of an overlay polymer attached to the layer of base polymer and covering a portion thereof.

A decorative panel comprising:
- a backing layer having a back face for abutting a panel-receiving surface and a front face opposite to the back face, the front face of the backing layer including a relief element;
- a relief decorative layer attached to the front face of the backing layer and comprising:
- a layer of base polymer attached to the front face of the backing layer and covering the front face of the backing layer entirely, the layer of base polymer having a substantially constant thickness across the front face of the backing layer;
- and
- a layer of overlay polymer attached to the layer of base polymer and covering a portion thereof, the layer of overlay polymer corresponding to the relief element, wherein the overlay polymer and the base polymer are polymerized together to define an integral structure.
